1 SIGMA-ALDRICH 1 - Product and Company Information Material Safety Data Sheet Date Printed: 23/JUL/2007 Date Updated: 12/FEB/2006 Version 1.3 Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Product Name CALCIUM HYDRIDE, POWDER, CA. 0-2MM, REAGENT GRADE, 90-95% Product Number Company Sigma-Aldrich Pty. Ltd. 12 Anella Avenue A Castle Hill NSW Technical Phone # ( ) Fax ( ) 2 - Hazards Identification SPECIAL INDICATION OF HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND THE ENVIRONMENT Contact with water liberates extremely flammable gases. 3 - Composition/Information on Ingredients Product Name CAS # EC no Annex I Index Number CALCIUM HYDRIDE Formula CaH2 Molecular Weight 42.1 AMU 4 - First Aid Measures AFTER INHALATION If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. AFTER SKIN CONTACT In case of skin contact, flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Call a physician. AFTER EYE CONTACT In case of contact with eyes, flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Assure adequate flushing by separating the eyelids with fingers. Call a physician. AFTER INGESTION If swallowed, wash out mouth with water provided person is conscious. Call a physician immediately. 5 - Fire Fighting Measures EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Suitable: Use approved class D extinguishers or smother with dry sand, dry ground limestone, or dry clay. Unsuitable: Do not use water. Do not use carbon dioxide

2 extinguisher on this material. Do not use halocarbon extinguishers. SPECIAL RISKS Specific Hazard(s): Flammable solid. Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions. Explosion Hazards: Material readily reacts with water generating flammable and/or explosive hydrogen gas SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIREFIGHTERS Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes. 6 - Accidental Release Measures PERSONAL PRECAUTION PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED IN CASE OF LEAK OR SPILL Evacuate area. Shut off all sources of ignition. PROCEDURE(S) OF PERSONAL PRECAUTION(S) Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, rubber boots, and heavy rubber gloves. METHODS FOR CLEANING UP Sweep up, place in a bag and hold for waste disposal. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete. 7 - Handling and Storage HANDLING Directions for Safe Handling: Do not breathe dust. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure. Handle under nitrogen. STORAGE Conditions of Storage: Keep tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Store in a cool dry place. Incompatible Materials: Do not allow contact with water 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection ENGINEERING CONTROLS Safety shower and eye bath. Use only in a chemical fume hood. GENERAL HYGIENE MEASURES Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Discard contaminated shoes. Wash thoroughly after handling. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Respiratory Protection: Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU). Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Hand Protection: Compatible chemical-resistant gloves. Eye Protection: Chemical safety goggles. 9 - Physical and Chemical Properties Appearance Color: Faintly grey Form: Powder ALDRICH Page 2
